Slattum renseanlegg is a municipal wastewater treatment facility located in Slattum, a village in Nittedal municipality, Akershus county, Norway. The plant serves a population of approximately 13,365, placing it in the medium-agglomeration category under Norwegian and EU classification systems. As a Norwegian plant, Slattum renseanlegg operates under the national implementation of the EU Urban Waste Water Treatment Directive (91/271/EEC), which requires secondary treatment for agglomerations of this size. The plant's designed capacity is 1.00 (likely in thousands of cubic meters per day or similar units), indicating it is sized to handle the local wastewater load. The treated effluent from Slattum renseanlegg is discharged into the local water system, which ultimately drains into the North Sea via the Oslo Fjord. The plant plays a key role in protecting the downstream aquatic environment, including the fjord's sensitive marine ecosystems, by reducing nutrient and pollutant loads.
Environmental context
Slattum renseanlegg discharges into local waterways that flow into the Oslo Fjord, a major inlet of the North Sea. The fjord supports diverse marine life and is an important recreational and ecological resource. The plant's treatment helps mitigate eutrophication risks in the fjord, which is sensitive to nutrient inputs from surrounding urban and agricultural areas.
